I don't think Intersex should be regarded as a "condition" just because it isn't the norm does not mean it is not normal. It is biological, people are born that way, it is natural and doctors should not seek to engage in genital mutilation. People live happily remaining Intersex with both parts their entire life, but if someone elects surgery they should be able to choose freely as an adult.Queers Unitedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05074493276489593816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-9993290640005490752008-07-12T21:12:00.000-04:002008-07-12T21:12:00.000-04:00Nick - that is hypocritical on your part, if you b...Nick - that is hypocritical on your part, if you believe in free speech you believe they should be able to express any negative thoughts they have about intersex people as well.<BR/><BR/>Intersex is biological but it is still a gender minority. Most people are male or female. People who are born in the middle or third sex are a minority. Intersex is a biological "condition" but likely Transgender is also biologically based. Regardless of whether the T is biological/genetic, people have a right not to be discriminated against.Queers Unitedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05074493276489593816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-55044148250251022422008-07-12T18:32:00.000-04:002008-07-12T18:32:00.000-04:00They do have the right to publish what ever they w...They do have the right to publish what ever they want. They have every right to write what ever they want and if people don't like it, they don't have to read it or buy it. being PC is very wrong because what ever happen to individual rights and the 1st Amendment rights. It just seems that everyone here is gone PC over 1st Amendment rights. Last I checked, I don't see political Correctness in the US Constitution or any state constitution.<BR/><BR/>If they wrote something bad about the Intersex community, yes I'd be up at arms over it. Since it doesn't effect the intersex community, I don't bother to worry about it.<BR/><BR/>See, I don't consider intersex to be a sexual or gender minorities because Intersex to me is considered a genetic medical condition.Nick K.D Chaleunphonehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15318590507921043958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-24945284841767791812008-07-12T17:54:00.000-04:002008-07-12T17:54:00.000-04:00Nick they have the "right" to publish whatever the...Nick they have the "right" to publish whatever they want and I defend free speech and freedom of expression. That being said, I have the right to boycott them and encourage people to contact them to let them know we are unhappy with what they are writing. Whether they choose to comply is their business. If they know what is best for business they will be PC. <BR/><BR/>Nick my feeling is if they wrote something berative and negative about Intersex people you would be up in a frenzy. You seem to be very anti-Trans based on what you write on your blog and what you write on here. I am really concerned about this. I am not trans or intersex but I make a strong effort to unite all sexual and gender minorities and focus on issues that affect us all. I would hope through reading this blog and being a minority yourself you would be more sensitive to LGBT issues.Queers Unitedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05074493276489593816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-65300835398871506992008-07-12T13:52:00.000-04:002008-07-12T13:52:00.000-04:00So, what ever happened to First Amendment rights a...So, what ever happened to First Amendment rights and Freedom of Speech.

Last I checked, prostitution is illegal and that you can get arrested for soliciting and promoting prostitution.
